It didnt get me yet.

I knew about airborne hazards even then. I was a good distance away. Only the camera was close. Besides, I also knew about the hazards of flying debris. Thanks...

chevick: TVs contain hazardous materials (large quantities of lead, phosphorous, cadmium, barium, and mercury).

When the TV screen was shattered, the lead-bearing particles became an airborne hazard. If you breathed in even a small amount, then you have lead poisoning.

Over a period of time, you may develop respiratory, pneumonitis, and neuropsychiatric problems.

Wish I did. I'm in northeastern Pennsylvania.

If you've got a way to get it to me for free or really cheap, I'll be more than happy to take the set. I am so broke. DX

[chevick]

Seriously I do have it. I would give it to a good home...I collect too much stuff the way it is.

[SpeakerPolice]

Except that's not a real model number, methinks.

[SpeakerPolice]

I would take it off your hands if I was closer! =(

The video was shot in the late eighties. It wasnt a collectible then, it was a piece of junk that no one at that time would give you 2 bucks for. If you would like to stop by I have a P-100 in good working order which is destined to become a collectible (some day). Since you clearly have the time, the space and the affection for unserviceable or out of date electronics, I'd like you to have it.
